Last Sunday Queen Bee and I decided to have a little change of scenery for our normal walk with Dog. So we drove up the valley about 10 km to San Giorio. The town is located between the two state roads, SS24 and SS25, that run along the base of of the valley toward Susa. The town has the typical mix of houses and buildings that date from the middle ages to the 1970s. There is a large castle overlooking the town. Apperantly it is privately owned so you can't explore it. Much of the structure seems to have fallen into disrepair but it remains an impressive structure. There is a permanent arrangement of construction cranes around the complex but we have not seen any noticeable change in the several years we have been here. On the other hand it is probably about a thousand years old so its time scale is a little longer than ours. It can afford to be patient.Sorry for the strange arrangement of photos... I'm struggling a little on the blog formatting thing.
The town seems to be primarily a residential community. I.e. not so much to see from the touristic point of view. But there are a couple of restaurants. One of them looks worth giving a try sometime.
